7 Best Southern Restaurants near Powell

“When you're looking for a traditional diner, this is definitely it. My boys and I love going here because they have breakfast food and in the afternoons they have Mexican food. This is the very traditional diner that you can go and enjoy lunch at the counter. Or stop in with friends and/or family and sit at 1 of the tables.“

“The Best Fried Chicken in the Town. Tastes amazingly Hot. They changed the Menu and have added a few more Items, Sandwich and Nuggets.Plant based Veggie options are available, so Vegetarians now Taste the Hot flavors. Banana pudding is delicious too.They have the Best Sweet Tea, which is supposedly Free and is now Charged. I hope they bring back the signature Free Tea again. Because, No Free Tea means, this is just like any other Fried Ckn Joint in the Town. Also, please add some Vibrance to the Atmosphere. Staff here are Super Duper Friendly.Vegetarian options: Plant based Nuggets can give u the same Hot Flavor as the Non Vegetarians enjoy.“

“1st time here, went inside and cashier Lilli was the best! She gave me recommendations, suggested the mac & cheese and she was correct that it was delicious! The plain chicken salad on a croissant was delicious as well!It was clean inside, the staff was courteous and all the food that I saw (other patrons) looked appetizing!My only critique (not criticism) would be to put a little more chicken salad on the croissant (a little too much empty space around the edges of the bread), but not a dealbreaker!I will definitely be a repeat customer here!“

“Great experience, not a lot of new offerings style wise but what they do they do really well. Everything we've had had been great, love the honey chicken and the spare rib dinner. Don't miss the happy hour specials! Great service as “

“I stopped by HCT for a late lunch. I was pleasantly greeted by Kevin. I also was pleasantly surprised to see collard greens on the menu. Get some cornbread HCT! Maybe even some muffins. It’s a must for greens.Anyway. Food was great and the atmosphere was fun thanks to Kevin. Keep it up.“

“The food was very good. I got the boneless chicken breast with the Holy"#+@*%?" heat level and was not disappointed. That level of heat is not for anyone who doesn't want to lose feeling in their face, lol. They have everything from regular no heat up to the highest level, "Unholy"!! I won't even consider trying the "Unholy" as the "Holy" was incredibly hot and the highest I ever need to go. I've been to other "hot" chicken restaurants in the central Ohio area and was unpleasantly let down. They just lacked the heat I'm looking for, the portions were small, the price was high, and the taste was lacking. Hot Chicken Takeover was everything that the others were not. The portions were great and the price was good too. I have found my Hot Chicken restaurant in central Ohio and will be returning soon.“

“Came here from an hour away, puts the Mansfield Cracker Barrel to shame. Tastes how Cracker Barrel should taste and they actually seat you without a 1+ hour wait at your table for service here. Only downside was servers changing shifts and no one being assigned to our table towards the end of us being there.Vegetarian options: Vegetables, might be cooked in meat though.“
